One of the authors of this idea is Deimantas Mekšėnas.
“For the first time, we tried to install a cross-country ski slope in 2017. The idea came up during a trip to Latvia. There I saw a device for the installation of smooth tracks. After taking a photo of it and getting a little interested in the internet, I was able to make something like wood and plastic. There was only a lot of snow that year, so it was a great opportunity to test my device. We hooked it up to an all-terrain vehicle and built a route around the water pond, ”says D. Mekšėnas.
This year the track is very popular, a large number of people gather here. It is true that this year the same skiers took care of it simply by skiing their trails around the body of water.
“I’m glad there is no shortage of people, almost every day from morning to night you can find them here. It’s nice to see that people are willing to move and play sports in these difficult times ”, says the interlocutor.
D. Mekšėnas mentions that Velniakalnis is a great place for skateboarders, unfortunately this year a heavy snowfall damaged the ice surface. “For several years we cleaned the little pond and lit it at night, often twelve or more people would gather here, we invited everyone who wanted to skate. Unfortunately, this year the snow has damaged the surface of the ice and it is currently in poor condition, irregular and unsuitable for skating. We will see how the situation changes, maybe we can still find something. Otherwise, next year, I promise, we will call everyone back on the ice, ”says D. Mekšėnas.
